What visitors say

The vast grounds offer many highlights, including a cluster of giant boulders, giant cedar trees, and an observation deck. As the path is a mountain trail, wearing comfortable walking shoes is recommended for your visit. Distinctive features include line engravings from the Western Pilgrimage Circuit, the Kinbansui (Golden Flower Water) which shines gold depending on the light, and the view from the summit. The temple is well-suited for a leisurely tour, including checking the availability of Goshuin (a shrine's calligraphic seal stamp) and enjoying the surrounding environment.
